How I wish that I could call you “Ella,”
know you on the first-name basis,
so I could listen daily to your mellow,
peaceful voice, in crowded places,
clouded by cigar smoke and blue light,
sip my drink and swaying to the rhythm
of the bass guitar and drums each night,
feel your soul dispersing into ripples.
Yesterday, I heard one of your albums
for the first time ever, as you cast
spells on me through ageless, timeless ballads.
Yesterday, I fell in love with Jazz.

Oh yes, I understand this. Lovely. For me it was Billie Holliday.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
